SB 666 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Updating definition of disabled veteran taxpayer

This bill clarifies the definition of a "disabled veteran taxpayer" under West Virginia's property tax law. It specifies that a veteran must have a 90% or greater service-connected disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or meet VA's individual unemployability criteria for service-related injuries since September 11, 2001, to qualify. The change ensures veterans meet a consistent, clear standard for property tax benefits without altering the benefit amount or eligibility threshold. It directly affects veterans seeking property tax relief by defining the disability criteria more precisely.
